Thanks to all that helped get the list of those buried in Washington Co. It does help a lot.

I do have one of my ancestors not listed, Felix Broom, but I do have a copy of his death record that I received from the State of Ohio Bureau of Vital Statistics. I had only an approximate date and place (abt. 1810 to 1815). It was in June of 1914 and it also states that he was buried in Mt. Ephraim Cemetery.,

So it is possible that some are buried in these cemeteries that never had a stone placed on the grave site. I am assuming that Felix is buried with his wife, Victoria, who is buried there, and possibly someone may not have had the name and date added to the headstone since he died after she did.

The caretaker of the cemeteries usually have that info as where some relatives of my husband are buried the current caretaker has the records back to the beginning of the cemetery.

Another of my ancestors, John Broom, is listed as being in the Mound Cemetery, however, he isn't buried there. There is just a marker for him there as a Revolutionary War Veteran.

Hope this info is helpful for those who do not find their ancestor where they thought they should be.
